Wow this thread really makes me reconsider moving… $110K, $2300

120k, 3300. But I lived at home for a year and half of COVID so I have a year worth of that saved up already. Had to splurge after living at home for so long.

Income - $400K TC
Rent - $2200 (my share of a $4.2k unit I share with my GF)

Funnily, my TC has moved up but my rent spend has stayed the same in my 6+ yrs in the city. Started at $190K TC

Nope. I have moved around to keep spend constant :)

Chibeca (TriBeCa/Chinatown). $180k, $3k (covid negotiated), $3650 pre covid.

Where do y’all find cheap apartments like that? As someone looking to move to NYC, >90% of (studio) apartments in Manhattan seem to cost 3000+

like

You gotta leave Manhattan in order to find cheaper housing. Outer boroughs for sure.

And in my opinion, being a NY native Manhattan is very overrated. I remember as a kid I wanted to live in the heart of the city so badly. But I remember my mom telling me that Manhattan had the priciest rent, small apartments, and even if you do have a view it’ll be of the surrounding buildings, not an entire skyline.

Due to a recent company-wide increase and additional pay for bilingual direct reports I am only making a dollar and change above them as their supervisor. I was hired into this position in March, having been the first employee in this department. I really tried to get them to budge on salary, they did not, but shortly after accepting they gave the whole company a dollar raise.

Any suggestions on how this might be addressed?

Can anyone of you please help me out? Or atleast some advice!!

I'm a bit confused between Accenture and Bain & Company.
I've offers from both of these firms with almost similar package. The role is not related to consulting but more into the technical+business side.
If I go with Bain, will it be more fruitful wrt brand value and job switch in next few years?
Also, how is the hike and compensation benefits for the employees at Bain?
